Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Common problems we fix in Horton Heath
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions from Horton Heath
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Horton Heath?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BH21 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
If you’re in Horton Heath and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton Heath
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
